package/cpp-httplib: add patch for CVE-2025-46728

Fix the following vulnerability:

- CVE-2025-46728

    cpp-httplib is a C++ header-only HTTP/HTTPS server and client library.
    Prior to version 0.20.1, the library fails to enforce configured size
    limits on incoming request bodies when `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` is
    used or when no `Content-Length` header is provided. A remote attacker
    can send a chunked request without the terminating zero-length chunk,
    causing uncontrolled memory allocation on the server. This leads to
    potential exhaustion of system memory and results in a server crash or
    unresponsiveness. Version 0.20.1 fixes the issue by enforcing limits
    during parsing. If the limit is exceeded at any point during reading,
    the connection is terminated immediately. A short-term workaround
    through a Reverse Proxy is available. If updating the library
    immediately is not feasible, deploy a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx,
    HAProxy) in front of the `cpp-httplib` application. Configure the
    proxy to enforce maximum request body size limits, thereby stopping
    excessively large requests before they reach the vulnerable library
    code.
